STOCKTON – A 21-year-old man who was shot in central Stockton on Tuesday has died as a result of his injuries, authorities said.

The man was shot about 4:30 p.m. outside the Doyle Gardens apartment complex in the 600 block of American Street. Emergency responders performed CPR before the man was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.

Officers responding to the scene were met by a hostile crowd of about 30 people who shouted at authorities and refused to cooperate, police said. Additional patrol units responded to the area to disperse the crowd and preserve the crime scene.

Homicide detectives and evidence technicians were still on scene early Tuesday evening. Police have yet to release a description of the shooter.

This is the 12th homicide the Stockton Police Department has investigated this year.
